Video Update
With some help from a videographer friend, we made the first video update to promote the launch. In this video I mention the upcoming trip to Mongolia and talk about the suggestion to get a “real job.”
Censored in Beijing?
I heard from a reader in China that the report has been blocked from download by the Chinese authorities. (Yeah, I was proud of that.) If you are in China and want a copy, let me know and I’ll send it to you via email.
Lost in Translation
A couple of people have asked about translating the manifesto into their own language. If you want to do this, let me know. Be aware that it’s a lot of work to do a translation properly, so I certainly don’t expect anyone to do this.
Here is the Spanish version, courtesy of Silvana Cuoghi.
Amazon Kindle Version
While traveling through Thailand, an Amazon Kindle owner created a version that will work on the portable book reading gadget. Download it here. Thanks, Colin!
Critics
Not everyone is comfortable with new ideas. I wrote a lot about critics in the manifesto (p. 20-21) because all world-changers need to understand that there are people who will stop at nothing to bring you down.
Here is one of the more angst-ridden responses the manifesto has generated:
“I’d really love to see what Chris’s life is like when he’s too old to work. I hope all his memories of traveling the world and giving his money away comfort him when he’s eating dog food in a shared-living facility for the indigent.”
I have decided to frame that quote here in my home office and use it as a super-testimonial. Thank you, dog food guy, for making my case far better than I could on my own.
